Keyword research that starts from your own site

Turn seed terms into a shortlist of winnable keywords using volume, difficulty, and what you already rank for.

Seed from what you already know

Begin with the handful of terms that describe what you do, then expand into related keywords, suggestions, and broader ideas. The best seeds come from your existing pages, your customers' language, and the queries you already appear for in Search Console.

Weigh volume against difficulty

High volume is worthless if you cannot rank. Pair each candidate's search volume with a difficulty estimate and your own authority, then favor terms where demand is real and the competition is beatable.

Group before you write

Cluster related keywords into topics and assign each cluster to one page. This prevents two of your own pages from competing for the same query and gives each piece of content a clear job.
